He may mean that it's an airbag retaining frame issue, which is possible. Order an ignition switch (electrical portion only, runs about $20) and swap it out. They fail easily and often and will cause all sorts of strange electrical problems, so may as well get it done. If it doesn't fix the issue, you'll have your old switch as a spare.

You can remove the airbag to check the frames bushings. The rubber decays and causes intermittent horn issues, though the problem almost always causes the horn to honk on its own, not the other way around.

The clock spring is behind the steering wheel and connects the horn and tip controls to the car. If it fails, your buttons and horn won't work.
